after about 3-4 seconds of perusal i notice that they seem to have they removed the Aria

Hi Steve,

For some reason I can't get to that photo link. Part of your answer shall have to remain a mystery until the link works again.

Nevertheless, I think the Aria has actually been gone for quite some time. I think that had something to do with the Fat Lady singing No, what I saw was the fact that the Micro Travel machine is no longer white with blue buttons but is now illustrated as black with blue buttons. Is this an error with the image or is this what a possibly new version of the machine looks like?

Of course whenever I see such a bold cosmetic change to a machine I also hope (often in vein) that Saitek have improved the program that went inside it. Sadly though as we all know, Saitek change the housings for their programs more often than I have had hot dinners (and it is the middle of winter here), without giving the first thought to actually doing anything about the way a machine plays.

So, if there really is a new micro that is jet-black in colour, the question that burns away in my mind is:

Can it now think for more than 15 seconds Regards

Don't take it personal -- The "Geek Squad" just doesn't know how to act when a female enters the room (think of it as a nervous reaction.) If you're a legitimate chess enthusiast, it will show over time and even those wary of "trolls" and "frauders" will eventually lighten up.

If not, ignore them.

Hi Steve,

Well they've changed the entire body colour, or so the image suggests. Yes, it's the old chameleon-in-the-chess-computer-housing trick..used to great effect in the Miami / Advanced Travel series, although in this particular case it all seems to have happened under the Cone of Silence.
